Avigdor Liberman said Friday that the two countries are “very, very reliable friends,” despite all the political and security problems plaguing the region.

Liberman said the two countries are closely cooperating on numerous levels including security and the economy.

The Israeli minister was speaking after talks with Cyprus’ defense and foreign affairs ministers and its intelligence chief.

Cyprus and Israel are currently talking about jointly developing natural gas deposits discovered off their coasts. The two countries are also in negotiations with Greece to boost energy cooperation.
